Rai got surprised by Kaiser's offer for him to join the organization he's making, he didn't expect it. It literally came out of nowhere.
"..."
He was silent for a moment, unsure what to say.
He turned to Kaiser, and Kaiser... he looked calm and dead serious. His face wasn't joking at all.
"Why me?"
Rai asked weakly, still processing the invitation.
"Because I trust you."
Kaiser replied casually.
"And I know you're capable. You've helped me a lot since we met. So I want you to be a part of this."
He added.
"..."
Rai blinked.
He wanted to laugh a little at that. Trust, huh. He didn't think someone would say that to him again in this place of all. But now... someone actually did.
Then finally, after a while—
"Alright..."
Rai nodded his head, smiling.
"I'll join."
He hesitated a bit, yes. But at the end of the day, he realized—he wouldn't lose anything. In fact, if things go well... He'll gain something valuable out of this.
